Impact of exercise selection on hamstring muscle activation [PDF]
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2016 ObjectiveTo determine which strength training exercises selectively activate the biceps femoris long head (BFLongHead) muscle.MethodsWe recruited 24 recreationally active men for this two-part observational study.Part 1: We explored the amplitudes and the ratios of lateral (BF) to medial hamstring (MH) normalised electromyography (nEMG) during the ...

Insomnia impairs muscle function via regulating protein degradation and muscle clock [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Background: Insomnia makes people more physically unable of doing daily duties, which results in a lack of strength, leads to lacking in strength. However, the effects of insomnia on muscle function have not yet been thoroughly investigated. So, the objectives of this study were to clarify how insomnia contributes to the decrease of muscular function ...

Neural self-organization for muscle-driven robots [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We present self-organizing control principles for simulated robots actuated by synthetic muscles. Muscles correspond to linear motors exerting force only when contracting, but not when expanding, with joints being actuated by pairs of antagonistic muscles.

Human Biases Preventing The Widespread Adoption Of Self-Driving Cars [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Self-driving cars offer a plethora of safety advantages over our accustomed human-driven ones, yet many individuals feel uneasy sharing the road with these machines and entrusting their lives to their driving capabilities. Thus, bringing about a widespread adoption of autonomous cars requires overcoming these compulsions through careful planning and ...

MusclesGiven the posterior chain configuration, it is anticipated that tibial positioning influences hamstring recruitment; medial hamstrings should be more activated during medial rotation, while lateral hamstrings should be more activated during lateral ...

The energy of muscle contraction. II. Transverse compression and work [PDF]
, 2020 In this study we reproduced this compression-induced reduction in muscle force through the use of a three-dimensional finite element model of contracting muscle. The model used the principle of minimum total energy and allowed for the redistribution of energy through different strain energy-densities; this allowed us to determine the importance of the ...

Effect of isokinetic fatigue protocol of quadriceps and hamstring muscles on some of the predictive variables of knee anterior cruciate ligament injury [PDF]
بیولوژی کاربردی, 2018 Background and objectives: Muscle fatigue may lead to imbalance and dysfunction of muscles. On the other hand, measuring imbalances between muscles should not be limited to measuring strength as it is not only parameter indicative of muscle function ...
